Cheng Shu, center of a top-tier boy band, transmigrates into a melodramatic angst novel written about him by a hater. He becomes a sickly substitute lover despised by everyone, riddled with ailments and panting after every few steps.

After signing up for a talent show, the original owner uses his poor health as an excuse to skip training, turns into a lovesick puppy, and wedges himself into the original story's romance.

In the end, the scum gong toys with his feelings, leaving him hated by everyone and so obscure that his career crashes and burns.

Cheng Shu: I'm not feeling well, so I'll lie flat for now. Do whatever you like.

At the self-evaluation recording, Cheng Shu slacks off and arrives late. The others deliberately leave him the highest-ranked Top seat. The whole room watches as this nobody from who-knows-where brazenly takes the throne.

The trainees who are friendly with the protagonist shou chuckle to themselves: Just wait till he gets publicly humiliated.

But during the evaluation, the supposedly tone-deaf, useless nobody wows everyone with a solo performance.

Cheng Shu, deliberately holding back: "...Was it really that good?"

Before transmigrating into the book, he would have been mocked for his terrible skills.

For the first performance, Cheng Shu joins a team of Class F trainees. Following the original plot, he relies on his weak constitution, refuses to sing or practice dancing, and successfully gets his teammates to resent him for being a burden.

The haters sit back and wait for the other trainees to scold Cheng Shu for dragging them down.

But when the episode airs, every team member advances, and his performance shoots to the top of the trending charts.

Teammates: "Our stage was so good because Brother Shu coached us. He gave all the spotlight to us."

Cheng Shu: "..." So much for keeping it a secret.

And that's not all.

His famous lawyer brother files a lawsuit against the haters throwing a tantrum.

His actor father lectures him about making it on his own while handing him brand deals and opportunities.

His singer mother appears as a guest to perform onstage with him.

The trainees compete for the chance to perform alongside him, and even the demanding judges can't stop praising him.

Cheng Shu: Does anyone remember that I'm just a substitute, a cannon-fodder character?

Lu Zhenliu is the youngest member of a popular boy band. He's had a secret crush on the group's leader for years, but never dares to confess. One day, on the way to an event, he's in a car accident and transmigrates into a book.

The moment he opens his eyes, he sees his own leader standing in front of him, smiling with foxlike eyes. "Are you choosing him or me?"

Not knowing the plot or that he has become the protagonist gong, Lu Zhenliu answers without hesitation: "You. Of course I'm choosing you."

The arrogant protagonist shou standing nearby stares in shock: "...?"

★ My Roommate Is a Clingy Sweetheart

[Sweet, Black-Bellied Junior x Teasing, Untouchable Senior]

Xu Shuche is a first-year graduate student in English at B University and the campus hunk of his department. Known as "the ultimate heartbreaker," he's a famous beauty who's only meant to be admired from afar.

But no one could ever have guessed that this untouchable beauty is obsessed with a martial arts RPG mobile game. His in-game ID is "Little Bunny Rice Ball," and he's happily paired up with the top-ranked player. He even bought a voice changer so he could sweetly call him "Big Brother" over voice chat every day.

The top-ranked player set off five 648-yuan fireworks in the public chat: "That's a good boy. Next time, remember to call me hubby."

The reason Xu Shuche suddenly quit the game was that the top-ranked player, who'd practically begged to be his in-game partner, wanted to meet in real life.

Song Yuqiu, a handsome, high-achieving first-year physics graduate student at B University, is actually a thoroughly straight guy. He's publicly declared that he dislikes delicate-looking men the most, scoffs at Xu Shuche's supposed title of "ultimate heartbreaker," and tells the girly bottoms to stay away from him.

But when the second semester of their first year begins, Song Yuqiu and Xu Shuche end up in the same project as partners.

Everyone in their year waits to see how Song Yuqiu will tell Xu Shuche to get lost. Instead, they notice that the bad-tempered straight guy seems to have become a different person.

Xu Shuche often suffers from stomach problems.

Song Yuqiu keeps his food tucked against his chest every day, terrified it'll get cold.

Xu Shuche stays up late organizing materials.

Song Yuqiu calls him every night without fail and stays on the line until he goes to sleep.

Everyone else is losing their minds over the two of them, saying Song Yuqiu treats Xu Shuche more considerately than he would a wife.

Xu Shuche also notices that Song Yuqiu's attitude toward him is very strange, so he deliberately keeps his distance.

Song Yuqiu asks, hurt and confused: "Have I been a bad friend to you?"

"I'm gay. Don't you hate gay people?"

Xu Shuche says casually, "Besides, I have a boyfriend. We met online in a game."

Later, Xu Shuche discovers that Song Yuqiu has saved his contact as "Little Bunny Rice Ball."

Humiliated and furious, he confronts him, only to be pinned against the desk by his junior, a hand pressing on his waist. His usually cool eyes are red with anger.

Song Yuqiu smiles meaningfully and whispers into his ear, "Senior, do you remember what you used to call me in the game?"

"Call me hubby one more time, and I'll forgive you for lying to me."

★ I Went on a Breakup Reality Show with My Ex and Became Famous

[Rekindled Romance]

Online novelist Ji Shu and newly popular top-tier star Yu Nanchuan were college classmates.

They dated for seven years, from their undergraduate days through graduate school. It ended horribly, with a fight and a hurried breakup.

Five years later, Ji Shu receives an invitation from the producers of what they're calling "the country's first breakup reality show."

He initially plans to turn it down, but the fee they offer is about as much as he could earn from ten years of writing.

Ji Shu: Only an idiot would let an ex or money get in the way.

When the guest list for the reality show "One Last Goodbye" is announced, the fans explode:

"Who is this nobody?"

"Can anyone claim they dated my idol for publicity now?"

"You broke up already. Stop clinging to him. It's disgusting."

But when the show begins, the comments that had been arguing furiously fall silent for a moment, then suddenly unite:

"Holy crap, why is this nobody so good-looking?"

"Who wouldn't love a wife this wonderful? Who wouldn't?"

"Yu Nanchuan! Why did you break up with him? What were you thinking?!"

Meanwhile, the top-tier star surnamed Yu, long known for his frosty aloofness, completely changes his keep-your-distance attitude and smiles as he carefully tries to please Ji Shu.

"I've peeled the pomegranate for you."

"Can I sleep in your room tonight? Mine is so cold."

Viewers even discover that the name Yu Nanchuan saved for Ji Shu is still "My Wife."

Ji Shu: If you're sick, get treatment, Ex.

The audience is speechless.

Do you remember this is a breakup reality show?

Turning a breakup show into a dating show, Yu Nanchuan, you're something else.

And away from the cameras, Yu Nanchuan corners Ji Shu, head bowed like a dejected big dog. "Bro, I was wrong. Give me one more chance. Can we start over?"

Ji Shu's eyes redden with anger. He says coldly, "Where were you before? Get back together? Not a chance."

★ The Cannon-Fodder Husband Only Wants to Help the Young Master Study

Luo Ting, a medical PhD, dies from overwork. When he opens his eyes again, he's become the cannon-fodder husband in a melodramatic novel.

The cannon-fodder's father is buried in debt and cruelly sends his son to the creditor as payment. The original owner makes trouble at every turn, abuses the creditor's child, and drives a wedge between the creditor and the protagonist shou. In the end, he's beaten until his legs are broken and thrown out of the house.

Luo Ting: I'm tired. I'll lie down for a while.

He enjoys a good nap until nightfall. When he gets up, he sees the creditor's child's math test on the table: three points.

Luo Ting, a top university graduate, falls silent for a moment, then drags the deadbeat kid away from his video games and grits out, "Could you close your eyes and pick C for every answer and still get only three points? You can't even do the freebie questions?"

He buys stacks of workbooks and makes the young master study from eight in the morning until ten at night.

The young master cries and begs for mercy, but his grades skyrocket, and he quickly makes his way into the top ranks of his year.

Luo Ting returns to his old profession and gets an offer from a top-tier hospital.

One day, he comes across a post on the hospital's internal forum:

"I'm the CEO of a multinational corporation, worth over a billion. I think I've fallen for the person I married under a contract. What should I do?"

Luo Ting scoffs. "Have you been reading too many novels? I might as well say I married a domineering CEO, woke up in a king-size bed, and get an eight-figure allowance every month."

The person replies right away: "I believe you. My bed is king-size, and my wife's allowance is eight figures too. He's a doctor."

Song Linfeng hasn't gone home since marrying a spoiled brat.

Until one day, he spots the so-called spoiled brat at a medical conference.

The man is wearing a loose white coat that reveals his attractive collarbones, and there's a sly smile behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

Song Linfeng calls his assistant over. "How has Luo Ting been lately?"

The assistant wipes away his sweat. "Very well. The young master even came first in his year with Mr. Luo's tutoring."

That evening, Song Linfeng goes to the hospital and hears Luo Ting talking to a young, charming colleague.

Luo Ting: "Once I'm divorced, we could give it a try. I have a car, a house, and..."

Song Linfeng pushes the door open, his expression impassive. "And a billionaire CEO for a husband."
